As the sun sets and the moon rises, the birds return to their rest.
On a quiet mountain road, two figures are shrouded in white light, approaching the top of the mountain from below
One of them has a jasper belt wrapped around his waist, with four bright orbs inlaid on it. The belt flutters when he rises and falls, giving him a romantic and unrestrained charm.
Another companion who was traveling with him was holding a piece of moonstone with one hand, and he landed neatly and started without any sloppiness.
These two climbers who behaved strangely were Bai Qi and Sun Huo who came to the meeting.
Along the way, with Bai Qi's deliberate catering, the two of them talked and laughed, which also eliminated a lot of the previous awkwardness and restraint.
At the beginning, Sun Huo was a little surprised as to why the party should be held so late at night.
After all, even immortal cultivators, because it is difficult to see at night, usually follow the rule of resting at sunset just like ordinary people, and at the same time to avoid many unpredictable risks.
However, at this time, the bright moon was in the sky, the cool breeze was blowing, and the process of climbing at night gave Sun Huo a sense of comfort that he had never experienced before, and it was a rare moment of relaxation.
After a meal, the two of them arrived at the top of the peak.
This place is not big, only about ten feet in size. A simple stone pavilion stands alone in it.
At this time, there were already five monks inside, surrounding a bluestone table, and laughter could be heard from a distance.
I don’t know which monk collected it, but there was a simple bronze lamp with a series of lamps placed on the stone table. However, in each holder that was supposed to hold lamp oil, there was a butterfly the size of a fist. p>
A faint yellow light emanates from its wings, blending with the moonlight, clear but still retaining the gentle atmosphere.
The arrival of Bai Qi and Sun Huo naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the stone pavilion, and more eyes fell on the unfamiliar face of Sun Huo.
Seeing Bai Qi put away the jade belt around his waist, Sun Huo also consciously stuffed the moonstone back into the storage bag. After all, the white light they brought here and now is a bit unpleasant no matter how you look at it.
When the two approached, the five people sitting around stood up to greet them with smiles on their faces.
"Bai Qi, you came really slowly. We thought you might not come." A twenty-seven or eight-year-old immortal cultivator dressed as a Taoist joked to Bai Qi and immediately mentioned Sun Huo. "No, it's just something that delayed me." Bai Qi scratched his head and said with some embarrassment. "By the way, let me introduce to you, this is fellow Taoist Sun Huo, who is also here to participate in tonight's exchange meeting."<
/p>
As soon as Bai Qi finished speaking, Sun Huo stepped forward, cupped his hands, and gave a polite salute to the five people.
"Sun Huo has met a few fellow Taoists and asked for their advice."
Such a humble behavior greatly changed other people's impressions of him.
After all, with Sun Huo's body and spiritual pressure, coupled with a black outfit, there is a faint sense of oppression when he approaches, which makes people not so comfortable.
"Welcome to Fellow Taoist Sun. I am a Taoist priest from Tianlu Mountain, my Taoist name is Wensong." The Taoist priest who spoke first returned the greeting politely.
"Fellow Daoist Sun, these are Ye Lingsan from Wuyang Ridge and Du Haiqing from Canggui Cave. These two are Wu Jin and Xu Ping from Qingxia Qiu." Bai Qi took the lead and quickly introduced the other four people briefly.
After a moment, the people whose names were mentioned nodded to Sun Huo in turn.
Under Sun Huo's glance, the faces of the other people in the pavilion fell into his eyes one by one. They were an ordinary-looking girl, a strong young man wearing a golden crown, a fair and fat man in his thirties, and a woman with delicate features.<
/p>
Among the five people, the girl and the woman were only at the eighth level of Qi refining, while the young man was at the ninth level. The remaining Taoist priests and the fat man were both at the tenth level. However, compared to Sun Huo, who had just broken through, his magic power was
Much deeper.
"Since Fellow Daoist Sun is here, let's try my plum tea first. It tastes pretty good." As soon as Sun Huo sat down, the fat man named Wu Jin quickly picked up the teapot on the table and brewed it.
Two cups of fragrant tea, one of which was handed over.
Bai Qi, who was on the side, was not too restrained. He reached out his hand and took another cup and drank it.
Sun Huo smiled and thanked him, took it and blew it twice, then took a small sip.
"Good tea." Sun Huo, who was drinking tea for the first time, also praised it.
As soon as the tea enters the mouth, there is a refreshing coolness on the lips and tongue. In addition, there is a faint fragrance of plum lingering. For Sun Huo, who is accustomed to drinking mountain spring water, it is indeed a unique taste.
Drinking tea, admiring the moon, chatting with friends, this kind of life can be regarded as a fairy and a happy life
Seeing how much Sun Huo liked it, Fatty's smile grew even stronger.
"By the way, what were everyone talking about just now?" Bai Qi put down the tea cup and asked casually.
"It's nothing. The most important thing now is that the Luoyun Sect is opening its gate to accept disciples." The Taoist laughed and said nonchalantly.
"That's true, what are your plans?" When thinking of this, Bai Qi also became serious.
"My cultivation level is not enough, so I won't join in the fun."
"My husband and I won't go either. Now we have enough food and clothing, and we live a leisurely life. After joining the family, we have to be ordered around, so we don't have to suffer this kind of sin."
Ye Lingsan and Wu Jin couple spoke out one after another. It seems that they are not ready to compete for this opportunity.
"I want to take a look, maybe I can get lucky and get started." Du Haiqing suddenly said it loudly, attracting everyone's attention.
"You can go if you want. I said so loudly that no one forbids you to go. You are still young now, so it is good to go and broaden your horizons. You will be more confident if you apply for the election next time." The Taoist priest stretched out his hand and pressed it.
The shoulders of a strong young man, with a tone of instruction.
"Stinky Taoist priest, you seem to have participated in it. Are the entry requirements really that high?" The young man slapped the Taoist priest's arm away and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"I haven't participated, but we have people here who have participated. Bai Qi, why don't you tell us about it, so that no one will be ignorant of the truth." The Taoist priest smiled and did not care about the young man's actions.
Hearing that Bai Qi had participated, Sun Huo also looked over with some surprise. Although Mr. Sun had promised that he would definitely be selected, it is always good to understand some of the selection process in advance.
Facing the looks from the people around him, Bai Qi smiled awkwardly.
"If you know something, tell me quickly. There's nothing shameful about it." Seeing Bai Qi's delay in speaking, Du Haiqing urged him anxiously.
"Okay, okay, I'll just tell you a little bit." Noticing Sun Huo's very interested expression, Bai Qi reluctantly began to speak.
In addition to being famous for alchemy, Luoyun Sect itself is also a sect of miscellaneous knowledge and has no systematic inheritance. Therefore, when recruiting disciples, the requirements for bloodline and qualifications are much looser, and at the same time, more are needed.
Low-level disciples can drive.
It seems that the threshold has been lowered a lot, but in fact the number of recruits is still determined based on the manpower gap within the sect, and entry is still based on the best.
Those with good spiritual root qualifications and potential for cultivation will not be rejected wherever they go; the other type requires a higher level of cultivation foundation. Only in this way can they afford a certain amount of chores. Only in this way can the Luoyun Sect be able to
Will accept it.
The time Bai Qi participated, more than ten cultivators of the tenth level and above came. Although his cultivation was insufficient, he decided to stay and take part in the test, hoping to gain a chance.
Because there was no general subject that he was good at, Bai Qi and several other casual cultivators in similar situations were finally taken to a palace with restrictions and were required to pass within a specified time.
As you can imagine, he was trapped in the middle. And Bai Qi later found out that not all of the dozen or so qualified candidates were admitted, but several were eliminated.
Bai Qi talked for a quarter of an hour. Except for the Taoist priest who seemed to have heard about it and was not interested, and kept looking at the moonlight outside leisurely, the others listened with interest to the process of how he broke through those restrictions.<
/p>
"Stinky Taoist, of all the people here, you have the strongest magic power. Aren't you going to participate?" Du Haiqing suddenly turned around and asked Taoist Wensong.
"I mean the same thing as Brother Wu Jin. This cultivation level has been stagnant for several years now. Even if you can join in, there is little chance of getting the foundation-building pill to advance to the next level. So I'd better stay outside and be me.
The Xiaoyao Taoist is better."
Taoist Wensong turned around and pointed at Bai Qi with a smile. "You can follow him if you want to go. Bai Qi will definitely not miss it this year."
Hearing Taoist Wensong call his name, Bai Qi smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
It seemed that it was a bit embarrassing to continue talking about this matter. After a while of silence, Wu Jin started to talk about some cultivation experience issues, diverting everyone's attention. The atmosphere of the party slowly began to become warm again.
Because of Sun Huo's sudden surge in cultivation during this period, he also heard a lot of overlooked issues from the exchanges and benefited a lot.
Time passed little by little, and after several hours of heated discussions, the seven monks in the stone pavilion began to take out their own things to see if anyone else was willing to exchange them.
Although it was just a small exchange meeting for Qi Practitioners, except for Sun Huo, several others really came up with something.
For example: Bai Qi took out a bottle of Qinghe Dan, which can improve cultivation, and wanted to exchange it for some offensive talismans.
Wu Jin and his wife took out the complete slough of a fifty-year-old armored python, which is very suitable for refining defensive magic weapons, and wanted to exchange it for a magic weapon.
In addition, others also brought out some relatively good quality items in exchange.
When it was Sun Huo's turn, everyone looked over, wondering what different things he would come up with.
